Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "My foray into the depths of nostalgia has brought me back to a game I absolutely adored growing up and put more hours into than I care to think about. Command & Conquer: Red Alert was my first ever real-time strategy game and something that I have very fond memories of; running home from school to be the first on the computer (sorry Jacob, big brother’s go first) and building the perfect base to crush the dirty allies (Soviet power supreme!) with time and time again. Now while I still have goals to clear my backlog of games I decided to take a little pit stop to a game that I still cherish very much and I’m pleasantly surprised to see has held up so well after all these years."
A Command & Conquer: Red Alert remake is being developed by fans, with the game now available as a mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour.
I wish someone would bring back Command & Conquer back - done the way the first dew games were. Red Alert was the best C & C game and even now, it still is fun to play after all these years.
GameSpew lists some of the best video game prequels for those of us that crave more than what the original stories gave us.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "It's the start of a new year and I'm using that as a flimsy excuse to talk about some of my favourite opening themes in video games. One of the most important sections in any video game is often the first few minutes, be it the opening cutscene or the first few minutes of actual gameplay. Whatever the game presents the players with the moment they press play is often crucial in hooking them in, and in many cases a huge part of that is the accompanying music that plays during those first few moments."
When it comes to Uematsu, how can you pick the bombastic Liberi Fatali over the haunting Terra's Theme?
